Description Rajil Saraswat 2004-08-21 22:11:39 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

The exchange plugin no longer works for me in kde3.3, whereas it used to work in kde3.2. We have an exchange 2000 server supporting ssl. The plugin configuration in .kontactrc is as follows:
Calendar/Exchange Plugin]
MS-ID=
auto-mailbox=false
host=exc.mail.ac.uk
mailbox=webdavs://exc.mail.ac.uk/exchange/hwd
user=hwd

Korganizer is able to authenticate against the server but the response is as follows(Server response could not be interpreted):

Comment 1 Jeff 2004-08-26 20:08:45 UTC
I see the same error in kde-3.3.0.  It worked fine for me in kde-3.2.  I am also using gentoo linux.  The ldap address lookup is broken for me now, too, using the same settings that worked for me in kde-3.2.
Comment 2 Cade Robinson 2004-08-30 16:56:44 UTC
I see this same behavior with the Debian packages as well.
Comment 3 Hans-Christian Prytz 2004-09-21 16:00:44 UTC
I can also confirm this problem in kde-3.3.0. I also used this plugin with kde-3.2. The exchange server has not changed or been patched.

Hi,
Thanks for the bug report.
Unfortunately I can't reproduce that problem with an Exchange 2003 Server. Does any of you have the URL that is requested from the server? The error page in this bug report does not list the requested URL, so I don't know what might be wrong there.

Cheers,
Reinhold
Comment 6 Cade Robinson 2004-11-22 22:58:18 UTC
Where / how can I get you the info on the URL?

Comment 7 Tais P. Hansen 2004-11-26 13:44:45 UTC
Should this even work with Exchange 2003? I get a "cyclic link detected" error when trying to access our Exchange 2003 server.

Yes, I tested it with an Exchange 2003 server (actually, I can only test it 
with an Exchange 2003 server)...

Hi,

Here's a packet dump from the http transfer..

Looks like it fails on the SEARCH request. Here are the packets that make up the search request.

It looks like in the xml, there are lots of &quot; 's that should be real double quote characters and not escape sequences.
Comment 10 Ken Deeter 2004-12-06 20:41:13 UTC
or maybe 2003 can deal with the escape sequences whereas 2000 can't?

Yes, these &quot;'s are correct. All " and < in an webdav request need to be 
escaped.
For completeness, this is the actual XML sent to the server (extracted from 
the log, all characters unescaped again):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<searchrequest xmlns="DAV:">
 <sql xmlns="DAV:">SELECT "DAV:href", "urn:schemas:calendar:instancetype", 
"urn:schemas:calendar:uid"
FROM Scope('shallow traversal of ""')
WHERE "urn:schemas:calendar:dtend" > '2004-12-06T00:00:00Z'
AND "urn:schemas:calendar:dtstart" < '2004-12-07T23:59:59Z'</sql>
</searchrequest>


Cheers,
Reinhold

On a related note, this msdn page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_using_http_1_1_webdav_protocol.asp

mentions that single quote needs to be escaped as &apos;

Could that make a difference?

Created attachment 9054 [details]
trace from suse 9.1 and 9.2

text extracted from ethereal trace.
Comment 14 Birger Kollstrand 2005-01-12 17:18:32 UTC
Hi,
A bit short note n the attachment there. Sorry about that.
The first part in the attachment is from a SuSE 9.1 machine  the second part from a SuSE 9.2. The MS Exchange server in the other end is a Exchange 2000.

The search fails on SuSE 9.2 at my location also. 

There are some diffrences in the date stamps on the end of the search on SuSE 9.2 that does look strange and definetly different from SuSE9.1. In the second trace there is also a time stamp sent which is not sent in the first.

regards birger....

Thanks a lot birger, 
That's exactly the things that are really useful when trying to track down a bug! 

BTW, it looks like you took the hex trace from ethereal and manually copied out just the corresponding column... You can also just use the RMB menu item "Follow TCP stream" to obtain a readable output of the communication!

Cheers,
Reinhold
Comment 16 Reinhold Kainhofer 2005-01-12 18:17:23 UTC
Okay, this was a bug in kde 3.3.0, where the time format was sent in a wrong format to the exchange server... In kde 3.3.2 and in 3.4 this problem is definitly fixed. I'm not sure about 3.3.1.

Cheers,
Reinhold
